Sunday, September 12th, 2010 - Harvest Plein Air Art Show & Cocktail Party to benefit BCAA

Sun, 12 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0600

Come out to the Lyons Farmette, enjoy the gardens and beautiful paintings by over 40 Boulder county artists.

These plein air artists have been painting rural scenes of the county all summer and the paintings will be for sale to benefit Boulder County Arts Alliance.

Appetizers and wine at 4pm - but come early - we're holding a Plein Air Quick Draw & auction from 3-4pm. Watch as artists paint chickens, goats or another subject of their choice in a fast-paced, 90 minute competition. The auction of wet works follows the Quick Draw at 5pm, giving collectors 30 minutes to view the art.
